This fake RED Copper Chef was bought on eBay by a Dorset consumer. It melted on first use but was unplugged before a fire could start. Investigations by Dorset TS found it had insufficient electrical insulation increasing the risk of electric shock and fire. #TSSWWeek2019#safety pic.twitter.com/CTgAX455M9
